My current favourite has to be Michael McIntyre, he's so under rated.
(I urge you to watch, particularly the first part about the London Underground)
Others who are up there: Jack Dee Jimmy Carr Ricky Gervais
Getting his DVD for christmas for my brother, so then I can watch it too His Northern joke on MTW was priceless Parts 2 & 3 of that were better IMO, especially the bus driver and the Glasgow airport part Was that this weeks Apollo, because I missed it
Agree with that list, except Gervais...dont really like him Frankie Boyle Dara O'Brian Ross Noble (saw him live...fantastic, absolutly fantastic) Russell Howard Al Murray Ed Byrne Bill Bailey
Frankie Boyle, i'll never forget what he said on mock the week:
"there is a vegetarian option, you can fuck off"
That was awesome, but my favourite, was
"Dear Points of View, I watched Queer Eye For The Straight Guy and it made me think that having gay friends, that they would give me fashion tips. I was wrong, instead, they Fucked me."
Jim Gaffigan Jimmy Carr Daniel Tosh Mitch Hedberg Jerry Seinfeld Lewis Black Robin Williams Steve Byrne
and just to piss people off (although his act does provoke laughter): Dane Cook* *I can't believe Recip didn't include Kathy Griffin in his sarcastic list...she's just terrible
